Bombay High Court

VASANT RAMBHAU SHINDE AND ANRversusRAKHAMABAI RAMBHAU SHINDE AND ORS

Decided: 21 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The writ petition was dismissed as not pressed because no cause of action survived.

Summary

Petitioners Vasant Rambhau Shinde and another filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court. The petitioners, through counsel, submitted that no cause of action survived, and therefore the petition should be dismissed as not pressed. The respondents, represented by an Additional Government Pleader, raised no objection to this submission. The Court accepted the petitioners' submission and held that the writ petition could not proceed. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as not pressed and the pending interim application was also dismissed.
